It’s Called Work For a Living, by Larry Winget, a Review

My usual rotation for reading follows a pattern of a business book, a religious book, and something else. Last time around, I was a little burned out on business books, so I went to the bookstore with the thought of getting a book that has some valuable insights, but is also a lot of fun to read.I ended up buying a copy of “It’s Called Work for a Reason”, by Larry Winget. Larry is a self- proclaimed “irritational speaker”, who gets in the readers’ face by pontifacting on things that you and I already know, and maybe are guilty of ignoring.
Some of Larry’s thoughts:

Teamwork doesn’t work. Being a successful manager involves making stars out of your employees..

You aren’t being paid to enjoy your job. You’re being paid to work.

You’re responsible for your own results.

It sounds pretty simple, and it is, but Larry reinforces a good work ethic in a straight forward, humorous fashion, that I found very refreshing.

If you want a quick read, that will make you better at what you do, I’d suggest you take a look at Larry’s book.
